I was always told that the wax was ready to be removed when you can run your finger over it and it comes off without resistance. If its still smudgy, wet, etc. it still needs to dry. It should come off on your finger almost to the point of being like a thick dust. YMMV. Time will be different based on ambient conditions (temp, sunlight, vehicle temp. etc.)

I guess I should have mentioned that everyone should tape off thier black trim with painters tape to make life alot easier. Takes 10mins if that and saves some real aggrevation if you get that crud on your trim.

Good Tip... I hate it when I wax my car and the wax somehow find it self between hard to reach crevices. I usually tape off the the outer parts of the headlights and taillight as well.

I found that peanut butter will take it right off like nothing the oil or something will allow you to wipe it away.

Why tape when you can use wax that doesn't stain? There are several out there that work great and don't stain or leave crust/residue.
